Automotive Efficiency

Here we have a mental block of thinking of shot term and being individual, neither is working toward the full picture or the future.

Exhaust emission controlling, Most people go with what the industry has been doing and that is adding all these mechanical additions to the engine and other areas.  This actually cause's more exhaust to be produced by increasing vehicle wait and reducing the engines ability to breath, both accounts reduce effective horse power and thus needing more work to do less.  To effectively reduce emissions is increase fuel efficiency and horse power to weight ratio, less power for more work.

Another area of contention is time sitting at idle and total travel time.  This can be helped by reducing the total number of vehicles on the road.  Encourage public transit use, expand public transit access, remove long distance trucking, increase number of train stopping points.

Other then individual's wanting to have their own being a holding point of trying to improve things, you have the oil companies campaigning and funding to prevent things, you have truck industry also campaigning against this.  For the oil companies if more individuals are driving them self, that is more total fuel used and sold, more traffic on the roads increasing total travel time and idle time resulting in more total fuel used and sold.  You have truckers not wanting to wait for time it takes to load/unload a train, this is a lie told to them to oppose the idea...reality is the total time to load/unload from a train is not slower then hitching/unhitching a trailer by just transferring the TEU container it's self instead of the contents from container to trailer.
